Summary:
8 Loving Is An Uphill Battle, Being In Love Is Simply Effortless: Often, you will hear someone complain about their relationship. They will say things like “it shouldn’t be this hard,” and there is some truth to that. Naturally, if you really are in love with someone, things shouldn’t be difficult. You shouldn’t have to work overtime to get the spark back or try to stop fighting, these things should never be a problem. I’m not saying that being in love with someone will all be roses and rainbows, but I am saying that the love aspect should never take work. Also, after a rocky month or two, you will still be in love with the person if it is real.

7 Loving Means Ownership, Being In Love Is A Partnership: When you love someone, you want the whole world to know that they are yours, so you label them and make them your property. You constantly need them to tell you that they are your girlfriend/boyfriend, and you also need them to constantly tell you that they are yours. When you are in love, labels such as boyfriend and girlfriend do not matter.

6 Loving Means How The Person Makes You Feel, Being In Love Means How You Make Them Feel: This is one common mistake people often make when it comes to love. When someone is asked, “Why do you love this person?” They often respond with “I like how they make me feel.” That answer is fine, but it doesn’t mean you are in love with the person, it just means you love them. If you are more concerned about how you make your partner feel, then it is true love.

5 Loving Is a Rush, Being In Love Has Many Emotions: There are many highs and lows with being in love. The problem is they do not balance each other in a way that makes you feel good. The love can last for a while, but the second there is a problem, it could all go away. It’s like a rollercoaster, but the problem is that the ride eventually ends. But if you are in love with someone, no matter what happens in the relationship, you never feel like things are crashing and burning.

4 Loving A Person Means Always Needing Them, Being In Love Means Having A Balance: Always wanting someone around isn’t a bad thing, it just means you love them and enjoy their company. But when you are in love with someone, you would like to have them around as much as possible, but you do realize that there needs to be a happy balance between you and their personal time. You want them to be happy, so you understand that the balance is necessary.

3 Love Can End, Being In Love Cannot: Love does not last forever and can end at any moment. According to statistics, almost 50 percent of married couples in the United States end up divorcing each other at some point. That just proves my point that love on its own can end. Once the honeymoon phase in a relationship is over, that is when things get tough.

2 Love Means Wanting the Best, Being In Love Means Putting Them First: When you love someone, you will always want the best for them. But does this mean that you are willing to make sacrifices to help them reach their goals? If you are in love with someone, that question doesn’t even cross your mind because you would never have any doubts about it. You would put the person first and do everything in your power to make sure they succeed.

1 You Choose to Love Someone, Being In Love Isn’t A Choice: You have all the power when it comes to loving someone. You make a decision based on their personality and you choose to trust their abilities and morals. If things do not work out, then you also have the power to stop loving them and release them from your life. The same cannot be said if you fall in love with someone. It can happen at any time, there will be no warning, and it’s something you cannot walk away from.
